abstract = "Beta glucan (β-Glucan), a polysaccharide
biopolymer, is used to improve the subgrade strength of
clayey soils in an attempt to advocate a sustainable,
carbon-neutral, and eco-friendly stabilizer. A design
thickness catalog was developed for a three-layered
flexible pavement using 3D finite element analysis
(FEA) and layered elastic analysis. The analyses were
performed for β-glucan-treated fine-grained soils
with varying traffic intensities based on a mechanistic
design philosophy conforming to IRC: 37-2018. Genetic
programming (GP) was employed to obtain equations
governing the rutting and fatigue failure in pavements.
Thirty-nine datasets were used in the determination and
analysis of critical strains governing the failure of a
flexible pavement. Energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy
(EDS), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR),
scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Zetasizer analysis,
and pH tests of the β-glucan-treated soil revealed
the mechanism of strength improvement of the
fine-grained soils. The savings in cost for a 1 km
stretch of the pavement were estimated to be
14.3percent.",
